EPA Faces Lawsuit Over Failure to Review Wood-Burning Stove Emissions Standards

Attorneys general from 10 states plan to sue the EPA for not reviewing emissions standards for residential wood-burning stoves.
The sale of stoves not meeting the standards could worsen pollution and hurt air quality efforts, the states argue.
The EPA's current standards and testing program for the stoves are seen as inadequate.
A report found issues with the EPA's standards and said wood stoves can emit too much particulate matter.
The involved states say the EPA's failure undermines their air quality programs.
